Character name: Arland Essex
Link to journal AND/OR Quest Thread: [Room 129]
Describe your character's personality in less than 30 words:Incredibly laid back, he tends to go with the flow while approaching things from a 'c'est la vie' standpoint.
Does your character have a ship/ OTP? Not currently!
Describe your character if they were a vegetable: Cucumber. As in cool as one. cool
What is your character's favourite music/ song/ piece? "Ripple" by the Greatful Dead
What is your character's hobby, if they had spare time? Arts and crafts all the way.
Is your character more arts, science, or sports inclined? Arts.
What type of personality traits does your character gravitate towards? Different types for different reasons. Land likes to try and draw quiet people out of their shells, if possible, and he likes loud/bold people who will draw him more out of his.
What are your character's personality traits (Good ones?) Glass is half full, easy going, fun.
What are your character's personality flaws? Comes off as a little lazy because of how laid back he is, can be too much of a flirt.
What is your character's favourite colour? green
Describe your character if they were in the opposite faction: Arland would be a werecat if he were a Halloween student. It would give him an excuse to laze about in the sun taking catnaps.
What would your character look like as the opposite gender OR 10 years into the future? As the opposite gender I think Arland would look pretty much the same overall; pale skin, long, dark dreads. His mouth would be a bit more feminine and he'd like to think that he'd have a 'killer rack'. He'd probably still have the cargo pants, but instead of layers of t-shirts and sweaters it would probably be a tank top. Arlene wouldn't cover herself up as much.
If your character was an Amityville Professor/ Divison Leader/ Horsemen Clans lead how would they teach others? Through song.
Who does your character look up to? Ceres. She's got her head together and he thinks she's a good example of the sort of thing he should try to gear himself towards.
What is a great weakness of your character? Arland is afraid of what might be lurking in the dark. He tries to hide it, moreso given his new occupation, but part of why he agreed to taking part of the Hunter program is so he can defend himself, and others, from what lurks there. On a lighter note, he's always a sucker for a pretty face.
What are their favourite foods? Just about anything made with squash or sweet potatoes.
Favourite fashion style? boho chic
Favourite minipet? http://halloween.thesporkedken.com/gen2/ff_eevee.gif
If your character was in a fantasy novel who would they be? The bard.
Describe your character as a mythical creature: A unicorn because he's so special and one of a kind. Actually, for all that I listed him as a werecat if he were a TiH student, I think he'd be a lot like his weapon, Tivadar, was before he was weaponized. Arland would be a majestic gryphon; possessive in a way that only felines can be while still being a bit of a birdbrain.
Describe your character as a Disney princess and/ or Villain Wait... You mean he's not already a Disney princess? I'VE BEEN LIED TO.
If your character could travel anywhere where would they go? Back to the pub he had his first beer at.
If your character could confess one great secret what would they confess? Before coming to Deus, Arland still slept with a nightlight on in his room.

Revenge

The young boy wiped at his eyes with the back of his sleeve, trying not to sniffle as he felt a hand take him by the arm, tugging him up to his feet. "What happened this time, Arland?"

"Nothin'." He jerked his arm back as he tried to straighten himself out, dark eyes narrow and rimmed red around the edges. "M'fine."

"Just so we're clear? You don't look fine. You look like you're plotting something."

He sniffed again but said nothing, gaze burning its way across the playground to where the boy who had shoved him was standing. A dozen different scenarios were running through Arland's mind, at least three of which could wind him in detention...

Dull

He sat at the desk in his dorm room, the eraser of his pencil pushed between his lips at the corner of his mouth just shy of being chewed on as he stared at the words filling the page in front of him. He'd already done everything that he could to delay the inevitable with this assignment and...

"Urggggh!" He groaned as he pushed his chair back, tossing the pencil down onto the desk. "Zero." He stated simply to no one and nothing, pronouncing his grade for the test that he couldn't bring himself to read the material before. It was just so... Dull.

Frustration

No one believed him. They had called him a liar more times than he cared to count, pointed out that he was either making things up about the attack for attention or just wanted to seem cool; like he hadn't been attacked by a stray or some rogue animal. No one believes in monsters, Arland.

He had drawn the creature from his nightmares time and time again. It didn't change; the dark shadow, the glowing eyes and dripping fangs... But on top of hurting, on top of being a scarred up freak, he also had to learn to live with being a liar. If he hid what he knew to be the truth he would just be lying to himself.

Love

He was standing off to the side, mostly minding his own. The lights flashed across the floor, dancing in time to the music that was playing throughout the room. He could feel it in his heart, certain that it was reaching in and tugging at his very soul. Eyes closed be began to bob his head in time to the primary beat, foot soon tapping along with it. There was freedom in the music and something about it finally clicked.

It made perfect sense as to what the masses were doing out there bouncing up and down in their beads and bracelets that beamed brightly black light.

His eyes went wide as he felt something brush against his cheek. A silly smile touched his lips as he felt slender fingers slid against his own, taking his hand to drag him out to the dance floor so that instead of just watching, instead of just standing on the outside, Arland Essex could finally be a part of something...

Even if it was just with the music, Arland had fallen in love.
